Not loving arte is an immediate red flag, imo. They’re one of the few reasons I have no problem in the slightest paying my GEZ.
They do have some weird, WEIRD shit as well, but that’s culture. Not everything has to be to MY taste.
Oh yea, exactly. I don’t watch it a ton but I‘m glad it exists.
Sadly they get only a small slice afaik
Currently watching Twin Peaks for the first time thanks to Arte
I just miss the english subtitles because I don’t always understand what they are saying
Wow didn’t know Twin Peaks was on there - thanks for the shout!
Arte is great (although I think it would help if there is more subtitle languages available, sometimes at all. Can’t make my kids very happy yet with the current available programs.
I love it simply because it’s the near enough closest incarnation we have these day of this quote:
We are going to use this organisation to change the way the rest of the country thinks. We want them to see stuff they don’t like. We don’t really care if they complain.
- Hugh Greene, first director general of the NWDR (later NDR and WDR), and later the BBC
Would be nice to see more people take this attitude in this day and age.
And you don’t even need an account to watch stuff? Amazing.
Unfortunately, you do need an account in order to watch content in daytime that is age-rated for above 16. And they ask for full-blown age verification with uploading an ID copy and performing a facescan with yoti.com, a company that on top of everything processes such data in the UK, not in the EU.

Arte is full of surprises, and there are dozens of apps for it. I use the Kodi plugin on my rpi and it also works with yt-dlp.
I tried the site; it must not like Firefox. But I grabbed the app! I love the variety, I’m overwhelmed with choices. Thank you for the heads up, I appreciate ways of broadening my horizons
Arte is available free on some streaming boxes even in countries where it’s not broadcast freely.
Oh, this is what I was looking for.
My wife got a bonkers TV with a bonus last year - 75in for us is just gonzo - and we have plex in addition to some streaming.
Can we get to where she can consume healthy media from where we are now? I may have to buy ram this year so that’s our entire tech budget blown for things like a nuc box.
Whoa, awesome tip, can’t believe I hadn’t heard of it before
Newcomers on arte, look for Tracks, some are really fun
Just grabbed the android app.
Is there a way to turn off subtitles? They have been forced on all three things I’ve watched so far. It’s very annoying.
thanks ive never heard of it and its now playing
